Since I was in high school I have been interested in creating art. It was not until I was in my early 20's that I realized art was my calling, and I chose to make it my career.

My exposure to art has been predominantly through self study. I was fortunate to live in a house that placed value and importance on art. Both of my parents were fine art collectors, so I was constantly surrounded by a steady stream of artistic influence.

When I reached high school my father introduced me to my first teacher, Veronica Nemethy. As an expert in her field of art restoration and conservation, Veronica also had developed a strong landscape portfolio of her own. Under her tutalidge, I developed my own style and technique, highly influenced by the Hudson River School painters. 

When I reached my thirties I began experimenting with reverse-painted glass, this was an experience of an unrestricted  technique, something I was not used to. Painting on canvas and board had been a great challenge for me, as I strived to emulate my teacher and the Great masters that inspired me. This new technique of painting on glass brought with it an immediate gratification, a way to bring light into my paintings, illuminating them in a way that I could not duplicate on canvas. For these reasons I feel that I have been chosen by the work, instead of the reverse, and feel that it is part of my path to pursue this genre.

I thank you very much for taking the time to look at this site, I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
